Begin washing your brows about 1-2 hours after your service. After the 4th day, leave the brows alone and do not wash or apply ointment so as to not disrupt the flaking. It is also normal for the brows to not flake.
Using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, lightly massage the brows in small circles, pat dry with a soft tissue, and apply a rice grain amount of the provided ointment after each wash.

Gentle cleansers by the brands Cerave, Cetaphil, or Ponds are best. Avoid using cleansers that contain oils, charcoal, or acid. Avoid using bar soap and micellar water.

Increased sweating, exercised, strenuous activity
Getting brows wet/forehead wet outside of instructed washing (shower/sauna/jacuzzi/recreational water)
Tanning bed use at any point after having brows tattooed will result in discoloration and permanent fading.
Natural UVA/UBV rays pose a risk of discoloration. When brows are done flaking, wearing an SPF will prevent discoloration and fading.
Always let estheticians know of any permanent make up procedures before receiving peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, or laser services.
DO NOT PICK at flaking or possibly scabbing. This will pull the ink out permanently.
Wash hands prior to washing brows, and wash pillowcase to lower risk of infection.
Avoid Retin-A, Retinol, Vitamin A, or oils on your forehead.
No lotion, non-gentle cleansers, or makeup should be applied to the brows until they are done flaking.

After treatment it is normal to feel a sunburn sensation for a couple of days followed by dry, itchy, or tender skin.
Brows will appear darker and bolder a few days after the appointment. During the healing they will lighten 30-40% and shrink in size.
Healing process takes approximately 4-6 weeks. As your skin naturally exfoliates and regenerates you will notice color change, disappear, and reappear as they settle.
This is all normal, and why two appointments may be necessary. Be patient and know that this is all normal and expected during healing.

Continue to minimize sun exposure. Lasers on treated areas can cause the ink to discolor. Exfoliated and skin lightening products (chemical peels Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Acids) promote ink loss, these products should be avoided on the treated area. Any form of topical vitamin-A should be avoided on the forehead altogether. Facial oil and natural skin oils on the forehead will result in blurred hair strokes over time.
